The system and the other setup

Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to

optimize the surround sound performance. You only need

to make these settings once (unless you change the

placement of your current speaker system or add new

speakers).

These settings are designed to customize your system,

but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in

Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto

MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 46, it isn’t

necessary to make all of these settings.

CAUTION

• The test tones used in the Manual SP Setup are

output at high volume.

1 Select ‘

Manual SP Setup

’, then press

ENTER

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu

above if you’re not already at this screen.

2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you are doing this for the first time, you may want to

adjust these settings in order:

• Surr Back System – Specifies how you are using your

surround back speakers (see below).

• Speaker Setting – Specifies the size and number of

speakers you’ve connected (see below).

• Channel Level – Adjusts the overall balance of your

speaker system (page 125).

• Speaker Distance – Specifies the distance of your

speakers from the listening position (page 126).

• X-Curve – Adjusts the tonal balance of your speaker

system for movie soundtracks (page 126).

• THX Audio Setting – Specifies whether you are

using a THX speaker setup (page 126).

3 Make the adjustments necessary for each setting,

pressing

RETURN

to confirm after each screen.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: Normal

There are several ways you can use the surround back

speaker channels with this system. In addition to a

normal home theater setup where they are used for the

surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping

the front speakers or as an independent speaker system

in another room.

1 Select ‘

Surr Back System

’ from the

Manual SP

Setup

menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu

on page 123 if you’re not already at this screen.

2 Select the surround back speaker setting.

• Normal – Select for normal home theater use with

surround back speakers in your main (speaker

system A) setup.

• Speaker B – Select to use the (surround back) B

speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in

another room (see Switching the speaker system on

page 91).

• Front Bi-Amp – Select this setting if you’re bi-

amping your front speakers (see Bi-amping your

speakers on page 26).

• ZONE 2 – Select to use the (surround back) B

speaker terminals for an independent system in

another zone (see Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on

page 91).

3 When ‘

Setting Change?

’ is displayed, select

Yes

If No is selected, the setting is not changed.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration

(size, number of speakers and crossover frequency)

. It is

a good idea to make sure that the settings made in

Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto

MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 46 are

correct. Note that this setting applies to all MCACC

presets, and cannot be set independently.
